Please help yourself and read up on Perl OO. There are very good books on the matter, one written by our very own Damian Conway. There is also a good section in the Llama book, by our very own Randal Schwartz.

The minimum you'd need to use what I gave you would be to put those lines in a file called SomeError.pm which would be located in a directory called MyErrors. The directory MyErrors should be in the same directory as your Perl script. (You can actually put it anywhere, but it's easiest to just put it there.)

In your Perl script, you put use MyErrors::SomeError; right after the use Error qw(:try); line.

Good luck! If you try this and end up with errors, please post your script and what errors you're getting. That way, we can best help you.
